Great!

A part that may be interesting to list readers:

- In one section of the blog, I describe the problem of the git
  submodule configuration not updating properly, when I launch
  a subprocess that first initialises the submodule. I will
  appreciate it if someone has a possible explanation for the
  issue I faced at:
  https://atharvaraykar.me/gitnotes/week9#launching-the-init-part-as-a-subprocess

My wild guess about why is_submodule_active() might not be working as
expected is that submodule_from_path() uses the submodule cache which
might not be properly updated when a submodule is initialized by a
subprocess.

The rest of the post talks about my project progress so far, and how I
avoided the above problem entirely for now by taking a different approach.

Nice that you found a possible better way!
